The J H Kim Institute, Carrigtwohill was recently delighted to host Mr.Martin Williams from Boston for the second time this year. Mr.Williams is a leading instructor in the flagship JH Kim taekwondo school in the heart of Boston. Having delivered a fast-paced, intense and informative weekendʼs worth of teaching in February, it was to no-oneʼs surprise that the Carrigtwohill based school would take up the opportunity to once again welcome Martin and his family back to Cork.

Martinʼs classes are both dynamic and informative, coupling traditional taekwondo techniques with practical self-defence, grappling manoeuvres designed to simulate real-life scenarios. Martinʼs expertise in this area was apparent from the very start of the weekend with students quickly picking up the basics and executing them with ease in partnerfocused training sessions. Martin took sessions with students ranging in age from as young as five to students who have long since entered their adult years, with a resounding seal of approval coming from all.
